  • Patent number: 11881920
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for a first transmission of a first service type (e.g., enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) and a second transmission of a second service type (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC)). The UE may identify a feedback codebook size for the first service type. The UE may multiplex a first feedback codebook having the identified feedback codebook size and generated for the first transmission with a second feedback codebook generated for the second transmission. Multiplexing the first and second feedback codebooks may produce a multiplexed feedback codebook. In some cases, the UE may perform the multiplexing based on a feedback multiplexing condition being satisfied. The UE may transmit the multiplexed feedback codebook in a control channel (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) or a shared data channel (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)).

  • Patent number: 11876710
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides dynamic routing for data flows to a customer network hosted in the cloud. A plurality of compute instances may share a common virtual IP address. Each of the plurality of compute instances may advertise information to a respective network virtualization device (NVD). The information may include the IP address, cost, and/or active/standby status of the compute instance. The NVD may then provide the information to the control plane of a virtual cloud network (VCN), which may aggregate the information from the plurality of compute instances and generate a forwarding table, which may be sent to the NVDs. These techniques may allow a customer to automatically remove a compute instance whose service host has failed. These techniques may also allow a customer to add compute instances and to route data flows according to an active-standby operation, an equal cost active-active operation, or an unequal cost active-active operation.

  • Patent number: 11870637
    Abstract: A method of performing beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure in primary cell and secondary cells with reduced UE complexity is proposed. A UE is configured to operate in one or multiple frequency bands under carrier aggregation or dual connectivity. The UE performs beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure on one serving cell for one frequency band across FR1 and FR2. The serving cell is an active serving cell including both primary cell (PCell) and secondary cells (SCells). Specifically, for SCell BFR procedure, a sharing factor K is introduced when multiple SCells are configured to perform BFR procedure. In one embodiment, the SCell BFR evaluation period equals to a predefined PCell BFR evaluation period times the sharing factor K.

  • Patent number: 11765084
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for providing return-link routing in a hybrid communications network that includes a number of different networks having different characteristics. User terminal routing systems (UTRSs) provide interfaces between local user networks and the multiple communications networks of the hybrid network. Each UTRS can include a routing table having stored mappings that are populated according to forward-link communications (implicitly or explicitly), each associating a respective one of a plurality of routing table entries with one of the communications networks. When a UTRS receives return-link data from its respective local user network, the received data indicates a destination node. The UTRS can determine which of the stored mappings corresponds to the destination node and can route the received return-link data over a selected one of the communications networks in accordance with the identified one of the mappings.

  • Patent number: 11764845
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for channel state information for multiple access points are disclosed. Channel station information (CSI) may be coordinated for multiple access points (APs) where one AP may act as a master AP with other AP acting as slave APs. The channel station information may be based on information from null data packets received by stations from multiple-APs, which may enable a multi-AP coordinated beamforming (CBF) to be determined based on the received first CSI reports. New frame formats are disclosed that include fields for including APs. Overlapping basic service set (OBSS) stations may respond to APs that are not within their BSS. Some embodiments relate to passive range finding in a multi-AP sounding where location configuration information (LCI) changes for one of the APs.
